Ofsted climbs down

Wordsmith

Just read in the Guardian that Ofsted has decided to amend its advice on identifying children at risk of radicalisation so that it no longer suggests that special interests make autistic children (and by extension the rest of us) are particularly at risk of being drawn into extremism. Thanks to all who campaigned for this change (including NAS and Chris Packham).

  • I saw that too and I'm glad, what on earth made them take this stance in the first place? It seems a classic kneejerk reaction to one autistic person doing something abhorent that in no way reflects the rest of us. What about NT children who become radicalised, don't they count?

    Thank you to all organisations and people who campaigned for this change
